<p>The Home Office is the data controller for all data processed within the EU Settlement
Scheme, this includes where organisations are contracted to act on behalf of the Home
Office.</p><p>No other organisations have access to the personal information of applicants
to the EU Settlement Scheme.</p><p>The Home Office may share information with an organisation
an applicant has cited within their own application. This is to verify the evidence
and protect against fraud and the use of counterfeit documents. Further details are
set out in the following guidance and privacy information notice:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-settlement-scheme-how-we-use-your-personal-information"

Home Office takes its data security and data protection obligations extremely seriously.
There are processes in place in the Home Office for the capturing and mitigation of
risks and vulnerabilities to ensure appropriate control of our services. I can confirm
this is the case for the EU Settlement Scheme.</p><p>Our staff are security cleared
and data will only be accessed by those who have a valid business reason to access
it. The Home Office regularly monitors the systems for abuse and misuse.</p>
